Never happier to see the end of the Weekend.....

Punk is an acquired taste, not universally pleasing, IMO.

So why would they  have a stadium-friendly performance at the SB with the lowest in-person attendance??

Put Starboy in your regular playlist. It's an earworm you'll listen to for months. Benefits greatly from the Daft Punk collaboration...

maybe this is more to everyone's taste?

I have more Frank in my playlist than Weeknd, but can I like them both? 

Absolutely! 

I adore this song myself.

Go listen to some Leon Bridges too. 

excellent music taste Maroon Bells.

Leon Bridges and Khurangbin was a dope EP that got us through the beginning of Covid

People watch the halftime show?

I have to laugh at Mahomes' mom bitching about refs.  They let some pretty flagrant holds go against KC.  JPP was horsecollared from behind and no flag.  And the one that did get called, I think it was Romo saying it was minimal.  Watching the replay, it was an arm around the throat tackle to the ground, but I am sure that was incidental.

They say its not the fall that kills you.

Agree. Starboy has probably been my most played song on Spotify the last few years, but this was hard to watch.

Isn't preforming at the Super Bowl kind of a sign that your career is over?  I guess I can't really think of many who released successful music post SB?

Wha? No...U2, Springsteen, Gaga, Prince, JT, Coldplay, Beyonce...it kinda has to be veterans of music to get the broadest appeal, but it's not a residency in Vegas if that's what you mean. I think the Weeknd is probably the least known of all, but the kids dig him real good. 

Come on @AGRforever, the Boss is still puttin’ out music, check it out...  B)

Everything is not for everybody. I like the Weeknd. But I could have done without hearing 'Earned It' during the Superbowl. And I figured it was the TV I was watching it on (chillin' at the beach these days) that was causing the distortion and crappy sound. It's too bad that it wasn't.

For me, Prince still ranks as the best halftime show ever. I really miss his artistry.
